DE ANZA COLLEGE
Question 4: (continued)
What new initiatives requiring technology do you/your department wish to implement over the
next three years?
Responses
more scanning stations available for student use, authentication with CWID when students
use the study room reservation system in the Library, online bill pay for Library fines
On deck computers and printers for attendance and record keeping
Our department is in the process of developing our courses into Hybrid courses where a
certain amount of course material would be developed, implemented and assessed on-line.
Perhaps a new registration and ticketing system
Purchase of Solar Lighting units for college and athletic fields. Cabrillo College just bought
30.
SAS or R
Smart boards to assist student note-taking.
Strong interest in open source materials
Tablet or website use but with a touchscreen, for each student.
the shift to Canvas (should it occur);
The World Language faculty are discussing the need for a computer accessible "language
lab", which would be an updated version of the "old days" when you went to the lab, put on
the head phones and repeated/practiced with the cassette tapes (dating myself here). The
world language textbook publishers provide programs that not all students can access, and
the listening/speaking component of language acquisition is vital/critical for completely
learning the language.
too many crucial actions for students (registering, financial aid, applying for all kinds of
things) are technology-dependent with woefully inadequate human support if something
goes wrong. We probably miss enrolling lots of students who give up because they reach a
point where they can't go further and can't get answers to their questions
Tracking of job placements for program graduates.
use of ipads for student organizing more desktops for students to use in our office
Use of technology with STEM curriculum
Useing BDMS for documents, Office 365 for shared documents.
Voice recognition
We might like to use electronic "clickers" for polling during class, and it would be great if De
Anza could standardize on a particular clicker system - and if faculty and students could do
testing, to figure out which system works best in class!

Question 5:
In what specific ways can De Anza make better use of technology to support learning and teaching?
Responses
Primary
Again, start moving stuff completely online.
APPLE in every lab and lecture room
Apps to improve admin, such as "auto-attendance" based on presence of a student's mobile
device. I'm not sure if that exists but I an dream!
Assure commonality between organizations.
Banner training for new employees, and refresher training, especially for Banner Student.
be sure that accessible products are purchased and divisions understand how they will
accommodate a student with a disability if the product is not accessible. Also, ensure that
faculty use library resources to show captioned internet clips
Better sound system and in large classrooms have a microphone.
better wifi
buying new softward for disabled students at the library
Compared to when I started at De Anza, the improvements are huge and all the classes I teach
in are smart classrooms. However, in spite of the technology many rooms still use CHALK
boards which mess up the computer screens with dust. Why cannot we just change the boards
to white boards?
Continue to improve wifi access for all students on campus.
Create some apps for student's that are enrolled to be able to orient themselves to how their
Portal functions and how to use Degree Works to help them plan. Most students have cell
phones that they use more than home computers so having apps can be handy.
